Hi, This is my first post. I have bought a iPad 3. When I plug the iPad into a USB on my windows pc, it says that the iPad is not charging? Is this normal? I am using a lightning connector. Thanks. Jeff... UK

Welcome to the forum Jeff. What iJamesH above said is spot on. You will need to use the charging 10amp cable supplied with your iPad to effectively charge your machine. Just a small point to digress: the lightning connector came in only with the iPad4. You and I are still enjoying that nice, soon to be classified as Heritage Listed 10 pin cable on our iPad3

It's trickle charging at a rate too low to activate the charging icon. Charging in this manner could take well over a day. This is why we recommend that you charge your iPad with the supplied charger. P.S., if you're using a lightning connector, you have an iPad 4, not an iPad 3.
